Chapter 262: Elevator

The passing geese leave their voices, and the passing people leave their names.

No matter how non-competitive Suning is, it cannot avoid leaving its own legend in this parallel Chinese entertainment world, so it can be said that Suning's trip is worthwhile.

In fact, Suning had the idea of directing a movie a long time ago, but after all, he had never been exposed to directing in his life. He could only learn as much as possible in this area so that he would have enough ability.

As for the funds needed to shoot the movie, whether it is the gold reserves in the space or the four songs that have already been written, they can solve Suning's funding problems.

The SARS epidemic in 03 was quite severe, so Suning had some free time and decided to make a low-budget horror film. Due to his limited abilities and since it was also his first work, he decided to shoot a movie that could be completed by one person.

After much deliberation, Suning decided to imitate the famous horror film "Buried Alive". By making a lot of adaptations based on the current situation, he should be able to make a very good movie. Suning decided to name the movie "Elevator".

The protagonist Mark is a senior employee of a real estate development company. He recently realized that he was out of tune with the overall atmosphere of the company.

He found a lot of evidence of companies cutting corners at work. He believed that these evidences could destroy the cruel and black-hearted boss, but the black-hearted boss still valued him very much. It was because of this favor that he was always hesitant.

Until one day he discovered the secret between his boss and the wife of another important partner of the company, and then was murdered by the black-hearted boss.

Because there is a promotion opportunity in the company recently, the male protagonist Mark and another colleague Luo Jun are the strongest competitors. The black-hearted boss only hinted to the other colleague Luo Jun, and made that colleague Luo Jun decide to target the male protagonist Mark, and then a thrilling conspiracy unfolded.

After inspecting the work on a building that was about to be completed, the male protagonist Mark still saw shocking cases of shoddy workmanship. He felt even more angry and helpless. When he was about to take the elevator to leave, the elevator suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Because the project was about to be completed and delivered, the early construction workers had already left, and there was no time for the subsequent decoration workers to enter the site, so no one noticed the trapped male protagonist Mark.

At the same time, for some reason, there was no mobile phone signal in the elevator. Mark struggled like this for a week before he was rescued from the elevator by someone (of course, someone arranged by the boss and Luo Jun, after all, they didn't want anyone to die). After surviving the disaster, Mark found that because of his absence and disappearance, his colleague Luo Jun had been successfully promoted.

then
Of course, Suning will not tell the story so directly. Since it is a horror film, it must set up a lot of suspense. Suning plans to set the male protagonist Mark trapped in the elevator at the beginning of the movie.

Because there is no mobile phone signal, the call for help in the elevator cannot be made. The reason for the lack of signal will be interspersed in the following plot, explaining that these are all designs of the movie villain.

Some causes and consequences will be told to the audience bit by bit based on the protagonist Mark's guesses and memories. The highlight is the series of long torments and efforts that the protagonist Mark went through in the elevator in order to survive, and of course there will be some forced survival behaviors.

Scientific research shows that humans can only survive for seven days without food and fresh water, and then all kinds of strange survival scenes will appear.

Making a movie is not that easy. In addition to the script, you also need a storyboard, actor selection, and filming equipment rental.

Selecting actors is also a very important matter. The male protagonist Mark was tortured beyond recognition in the end. Although he did not lose his life, he was greatly affected mentally. Then there will be a series of inhuman revenge behaviors, presenting the audience with a bloody, violent, and even pornographic scene. This requires the actor to have a gloomy temperament, so Suning believes that Lu Fangsheng is more suitable to play the male protagonist Mark.

In fact, the so-called heroine has very few scenes. The highlight may be the scene where she has an affair with a black-hearted boss and is caught by the male protagonist Mark. In order for the film to be successfully released, the shots certainly cannot be too exciting.

Suning originally wanted to give the role of the heroine to Gao Dayuan, but unfortunately after reading the script, she might really spit in her face, so the final role of the heroine is still to be determined.

After being busy for several days, Suning finally figured out everything and returned to 210 with the script.

"Lu Fangsheng, I feel like this Mark is tailor-made for you!"

"Huh? Suning, am I a pervert in your eyes?" Lu Fangsheng was originally very happy, but after reading the script, he felt a little speechless.

"Haha, no matter what, the male lead is a successful person, and his role is very demanding on his acting skills!
I think practical experience is more important than textbook knowledge! " Seeing that Lu Fangsheng was still very smart, Su Ning was not worried, but continued to fool people with confidence.

"Suning, you just fooled me!

Look at what the protagonist Mark did after he was rescued? He's a complete psychopath and murderer!

"Haha, at worst, the worst that can happen is that the filming techniques can be more metaphorical and not so straightforward!" Seeing that Lu Fangsheng was really resistant to a series of actions of the male protagonist Mark in the script, Suning explained again.

"I plan to describe the protagonist Mark's behavior after he was rescued through his sinister smile and a news report."

After hearing Suning's explanation, Lu Fangsheng nodded and agreed. Although this was Suning's first work, Lu Fangsheng was still very surprised. After all, filming opportunities are very rare.

"Suning, you can't do this!

We are all good brothers, so you should at least give Luo Jin and me a role, right?" At this time, Zhu Yawen looked at Su Ning with a face full of resentment.

“Haha, both!

You two can choose any role in this movie "Elevator"!

"Ah? Really?

Haha, then if I play the boss, there will be passionate scenes too!"

"Oh my God! Yawen, what are you thinking about!

It is true that the boss is the biggest winner, but it is impossible for there to be a lot of passionate scenes!
After all, I don’t want to waste all my time and energy only to have it not be released in the country! "

"Haha, what are you afraid of!
If it can’t be shown in China, we can just send “Elevator” to international film festivals!”

"Yawen, you really dare to think so!

But you did give me a reminder!

You can make the movie into two parts, one more bloody and violent, and then send it to foreign film festivals!

The other one is a bit milder and will be released domestically!"

"Haha, you can shoot it with more passion!" Zhu Yawen suddenly laughed evilly.

"Huh? Yawen, what's wrong with you?
It can't be that you have never had a girlfriend, it's too..." Su Ning looked at Zhu Yawen in surprise.

"Hehe, you are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man!

If you keep having girlfriends, Luo Jin and I will be in trouble!"

"Yes! Yawen and I are very miserable!" Luo Jin on the side also responded to Zhu Yawen with a sad face.

"Haha, I don't believe you!
We have so many beautiful girls in Beijing Film Academy, are you still worried about not having a girlfriend?
I think you two have too high standards!" Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin are both handsome men, so how could they not have girlfriends? It's just that they don't want to.

After the four brothers had discussed it, the filming of the movie began. Gao Dayuan, after reading the script, refused to participate. Then she unexpectedly introduced an actress to Suning.
　There's so much going on today! That's all for now!
